PoP-CORN PACKAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,897. dated April15, 1884.

i Application led February 21, 18S-1. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, VINCENT D. URso, a citizen of the United States,residing at Evansville, in the county of Vanderburg and State ofIndiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Pop-CornPackage, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in boxes, and has fo'r its objectto provide a packing-box of the shape of a rocket, for the use ofcont'ectioners, adapted to contain candies, nuts, or pop-corn, togetherWith prizes of nominal value, so constructed as to be easilydisplayed'by inserting its supporting-stick in an aperture in a stand.This object is attained by the device illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, forming a part of this specification,

in Whichf Figure 1 is an elevation. Fig. 2 is a vertical section. Fig. 3is a View of the bottom of the box and transverse section of the stickC. The letter A indicates the body of the..box,

which is of cylindrical shape, and is preferably made of pasteboard,having its edges brought together or lapped one over the other and thenglued or pasted. The bottom A', of the same material', is then insertedand glued or pasted in. The body or cylinder A is then covered withcalendered paper, D, about threequarters of an inch longer than thecylinder, and this part of the calendered paper is crimped over the endof the cylinder and over the bottom A, and is secured to the cylinderand to the bottom by paste, glue, or other adhesive material. A circularpiece of paper, E, slightly smaller than the diameter of the the other,and glued or pasted, and covered with calendercd paper in the samemanner as already described for the cylinder; and When the box orcylinder Ahas been filled with pop-corn or other goods the upper edge ofthe cylinder is covered with paste or other adhesive material, and thetop B is then placed thereon. This completes the package.

The cylindrical portion of the box may be ornamented with appropriateand suggestive designs.

A stick, C, about fourteen inches long, is glued or otherwise attachedto one side ofthe box A,aud serves the purpose to hold the box in anelevated position when inserted in a stand or other receptacle, wherebythe entire device may be brought more prominently into view when placedupon acounter or showwindow.

Having described my invention, what I desire to secure by LettersPatent, and claim, is-

The cylindrical box A, having aconical cover, B, in combination withstick C, as described,

and for the purposes set fort-h.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.'
